Details

Role Senior Research Fellow
Research area Clinical Sciences
Dr Beck Mitchell is an experienced developmental paediatrician with expertise in complex developmental disability. Dr Mitchell is a senior research fellow with the Neurodevelopment Flagship and works as a clinical developmental paediatrician.

Dr Mitchell's PhD investigated the developmental phenotype in children with a genetic condition called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Dr Mitchell's research focussed particularly on the presentation of autism and intellectual disability, and the associations between 'disease factors', such as genetic changes, epilepsy and structural brain changes and how these are linked with developmental outcomes. Dr Mitchell also has an interest in the synthesis of evidence, and has undertaken several systematic reviews with meta-analysis.

Currently, Dr Mitchell is co-lead on the Neurodevelopment Flagship SIGNAL study. This study is investigating changes over time in the developmental profile of children with genetic conditions, including TSC and neurofibromatosis type 1, and understanding the factors that impact on development.
